The color level contains specific guidelines at each level for local law enforcement. You must have some sort of system to distinguish the levels between "Imminent danger" and "all clear." They could have used numbers, but used colors instead.

The object was to have a system that could easily be publicized and understood. Look at how confusing the difference is between "tornado watch" and "tornado warning."

The color system is understood by everyone, since the media broadcasts when the threat level is raised. How would you suggest it be handled?
